Remember Zango?
 
I was just thinking of that period in this industry.

It would overwrite affiliate cookies. Say you as a webmaster sent a surfer to a ccbill site, using your affiliate code '12345' - If that surfer had zango installed, zango would say 'Oh, Im going to a ccbill site... Well OK, lets just change the code to a different one then ('54321') and the zango advertiser would get the sale and not you.

Here's an article alluding to it:

Besides that it would hijack search terms and send people to a different site than they were searching for. Along those lines. A certain well known dating site was a big fan ;)

Didn't they also have a bunch of paid shills spamming this board? Tristan and whatnot?

Zango was the start of Z named companies that just sucked ass - Zombaio as well.

A snapshot in time - The tubes were just around the corner, but all were oblivious to what was to come... :2 cents:
